- Need one to change the nationalization by virtue of birth on American soil.

- Need one to change restriction on presidency to those not born as nationals.

- Need one to provide pie to all people, regardless of diabetic standing.

Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as President of the United States:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

I Like pie!

Those demands are unconstitutional ...

Legalize the Constitution!

#4 Jet, I think that's his point! And I agree with with kleick,not a citizen until parents of said child are @ least documented as filing for citizenship in this country!

I musy say for the most forward thinking(supposedly)country in the world, we're really dumbasses! To our own detrement, when will we realize that far too many people are using our very constitution against us. Sometimes one has to make Amends:)

Time to change the 14th Amendment.

No Birthright Citizenship!

Amen to changing the 14th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Birthright Citizenship!

==========================

if there was no birthright citizenship, the vast majority of us posting here would not be citizens! I have never applied for citizenship because I was born here. didn't have to. My children were not born here. I applied for and received citizenship for them.

^ obviously, you would only be a citizen by birth if your parents are already citizens. duh.

^10

Much easier to just do it the way we do. They've tried to change the 14th before, didn't happen. Probably won't happen now either.

Denmark doesn't allow birthright citizenship.

We will learn, eventually.

I think whenever we get all emotional and have a new bad guy to hate we should amend the constitution. It is what our founding fathers would have wanted. Pure strict constructionists would support this in a flash.

I also enjoy pie.

I'm pissed off and I don't know why!!

^12

And we should follow Denmark because . . . ?

Plenty of countries don't do birthright citizenship; in this respect we're actually in the minority IIRC. However, we also have a Constitution that (in SCOTUS dicta) has been read to grant birthright citizenship to anyone born on our soil, with very limited exceptions for foreign diplomats/clergy/etc.

"punch and pie"

so you end birthright citizenship .... Question: someone is born here, goes to school here, lives their whole life here, graduates from high school, goes to college and graduates, now goes to get a job and finds out they can not legal work here because they are not citizens and they don't have a green card. should they be arrested and deported as an illegal alien? What crime did they commit? They did not enter the US illegally. When they turn 18, are they supposed to leave the only place they have ever called home and go back to whatever country their parents left over 18 years earlier? why should a child of someone who committed a crime be punished for the actions of the parent?

Hmmm...I'd almost be tempted to push for cookies over pie, but I'll support the pie amendment if it includes pecan pie.
